If you’re looking for a simple DIY gift that anyone will love, the fudgy, chewy goodness of this mason jar brownie mix is just the thing. Though it’s pre-made like store-bought stuff, it’s so much better than a box! I’d like to say the secret ingredient is love, but the fact that it only uses high-quality ingredients like real butter and pure cacao powder probably has something to do with it, too.
To make this recipe affordable (and also fit it into a pint-sized mason jar), I cut my easy brownie recipe in half and adjusted the preparation instructions.
However, if you’d like to go with a larger batch, the proportions for the original recipe will fit in a quart-sized jar. (Just make sure to use the ingredient amounts and baking instructions from the original post.)

I love this recipe but can I use coconut sugar instead of sucanat? Sucanat is not for sale in my country
I LOVE this recipe. What a great idea. My aunt has given little jars of Christmas pudding like these as gifts to people before but I havnt found a brownie one like yours, u til now! I can’t wait to make these, but I can’t find sucanat for sale where I live, do you have an alternative that we could use? Thanks
Is arrowroot flour an ingredient? It’s listed as part of the text to put on the tag, but it’s not listed in the first list of ingredients, instead, almond flour is listed. Which flour do u recommend? Are they interchangeable?
I love all your DIY recipes, Heather! Thanks for sharing!
I’m trying to make this as Christmas gifts. This doesn’t fit in a pint size jar; maybe that’s a typo? 1/2 c. cacao, 3/4 c. sucanant, 3/4 c. almond flour, and 1/4 c. chocolate chips don’t fit in a pint. That’s 2 1/4 cups of ingredients, so it follows that a pint jar, being 2 cups, is too small. I’ll try some random jars I have around instead.
What was your answer to the above question? Will these ingredients ALL fit into a PINT jar? After all, these amounts DO total 16 1/4 ounces…
Do I need to add baking soda?
Where is the original post. I’m trying to make this and it doesn’t fit in a pint mason jar. It also doesn’t specify the amount of sucanat. Is it 3/4 cup? 3/4 what????
